Group G: If I'm lyin', I'm dyin'.

Why am I awesome? Well, that’s because I’m, well, me. I am the most laid back, sweet and caring person you will ever meet in your life. I know I don’t look like it because I wear all black, but seriously, you will get diabetes because I’m so sweet. I have an awesome sense of humor, unless it deals with racism or sexism. Yes, I may be a lady, but I don’t like being in the kitchen all the time and no I will not make you a sandwich. Anyways, I’m a very unique person. I’m sure you will never meet any one else like me. I’m one of a kind. I’m shy at first, but when you get to know me, I can be quite obnoxious. I always think positive about myself. I don’t wear make-up because to me it’s a mask that people hide behind. I was born beautiful. Of course I have my flaws, but I’m proud of them. I know I’m not perfect and I never act like I am. I try my best at everything, going into everything open minded. I might whine occasionally, but everybody does. I stay drug free because I want a future. I don’t judge others if they do drugs or drink alcohol because it’s their decisions. They aren’t a part of my life, so why worry about them? I don’t talk about others behind their backs because I wouldn’t want that to happen to me. I can always keep a secret. I am most definitely the person you can trust. I understand what some people are going through and they know they can always come to me and talk about it because I don’t tell anyone else and I always give them feedback. I’m a counselor when people need to talk about something’s that are so sensitive. I always tell the truth and nothin’ but the truth. Some people might be reading this and think that I’m lying right there, but to be honest, I’m not. If you always tell the truth, there’s nothing to remember. If you need a friend, I’ll always be there.

Group G: Kathleen SquarePants

Um, Sponge Bob Square Pants, nuff said. Over the past five months I have become overly obsessed with this yellow sponge that lives in a pineapple under the sea. I don’t know why I suddenly enjoy watching this show, but it’s quite entertaining and quite different than the other shows on television right now. I actually laugh, cry and question my sanity while watching this show. I’m seventeen still watching a cartoon made for younger kids who still play with Barbie’s and “Action Figures.” I literally have to buy everything that has Sponge Bob’s face on it. Over the Thanksgiving weekend I went shopping with my father. I was supposed to be buying for other people, but instead I just bought stuff for myself. We went down the toy aisle at Wal-Mart and I do believe that was a mistake. There was so much Sponge Bob stuff! I bought this play mat with Sponge Bob on it. I don’t really know what I’ll be using it for, but right now it’s just a rug on my bedroom floor at this moment.  Besides having a mat that has Sponge Bob on it, I have many other collectibles. I have these wall clings that are made up of the stuff that window clings are, but they’re stickier. There is a huge Sponge Bob one and then there are smaller ones of him, Gary, Squidward, Patrick, and Mr. Krabs. For my birthday my dad got me this coloring pad of Sponge Bob. It’s epic. I’m a huge fan of coloring and I always have marker, crayons and colored pencils available. Anyways, I colored a bunch of pictures from the coloring pad and put them on my walls. It looks pretty legit. Surprisingly there is also a Sponge Bob album out. I bought it last year around Christmas time. It has all the best songs on it. I have blankets and pillows of him to. I love Sponge Bob and I can see myself being eighty and still watching this show. I might even marry him.

Group F: I don't wish for money, I wish for life.

For the three wishes, well, this is probably going to be depressing. My first wish would be to bring my oldest brother back to life. He died in 1992 from an allergic reaction to latex. I was born in 1994, so I was never able to meet him. I always wonder what life would be like right now if he was alive. I can’t really learn much about him because it’s kind of awkward to ask my dad about him. All I know is that he was diagnosed with Muscular Dystrophy at a young age. He had to be in wheelchair most of his short life. He was only fourteen when he died. If he never had that allergic reaction and was still alive today, I wish that he would never be diagnosed with that disease. I hate to see the pain that people go through because they are disabled. I truly do have a problem with people who judge others. I know many people judged my brother because of what he was going through. He had to go to a whole separate school for some stupid reason.  My third wish would be to wish that people didn’t judge others so easily. I know I have my moments when it comes to judging, but I never go too far like some people. Just the other day in lunch someone was being racist and I confronted them about it in front of the whole lunch table. I’m sorry, but if you want to be ignorant like that you can go somewhere else. People are supposed to come to school and be able to go to classes and have fun without worrying about ignorant people. I hate when people judge other’s because of their race, sexuality, religion and so on. I told someone that I was atheist and they called me stupid and decided to not talk to me. It was my choice to be like this. I’m not stupid because of what I believe in. I don’t judge you or call you stupid. I already did a blog about judging gay people and if I talked about race I’m pretty sure this blog would be 4876389579384 words long. I clench my fists when people judge others because of skin color. It pisses me off that much. I’m a very sensitive person and I will literally try to save anyone that I see being bullied in any way. It’s just what I do. I don’t tolerate that ignorant crap.

Group F: "Give in to love or live in fear."

Normally I would do my top three favorite scary movies, but I think I’ll try something new. I will tell you about my favorite musicals. The first musical that I love to watch is Rent. I can literally watch this movie over and over again. Well, I have done that before. I know all the words to every song and I know all the words when people talk. I usually annoy the people that I’m watching the movie with because I’m talking through the whole thing. Rent is about a group of friends, some have AIDS, others don’t, and they go through this journey of finding love and losing the ones they love. I’m pretty sure I’ve cried 45987398475394 times throughout this movie and I do cry each time my favorite character dies. I get emotionally attached to the characters because I’ve watched this movie so many times it’s almost my life. Another musical I love is Chicago. I watched the new version earlier this year in American Film, taught by Ms. Weisbeck. This movie was about a woman who was trying to get into the singing business by sleeping with this man but he was just using her. She shot and killed him. She ends up going to jail and she just wants to become famous. She starts all these rumors about her being pregnant when really she isn’t. The musical numbers in this movie are phenomenal and they always get stuck in my head. I can’t think of a third musical I like, so I’ll just go back to horror. I just watched a scary movie recently called Joy Ride. That was the most unique movie I have ever watched. These brothers decide to go on a road trip to pick this girl up in Colorado and one of the brothers decide to get this radio for his car that trucker’s normally use. This trucker named Rusty Nail is the victim of a harsh prank these boys played on him and he’s out for his revenge. Rusty Nail starts to follow these boys everywhere and try killing them. It’s really an awesome movie. There is also a sequel, but it’s not as good as the first one.

Group F: Set the World on Fire

My favorite music genre is Screamo. Technically its not a genre, but thats the type of music I listen to. Some people call it metal, alternative blah blah blah. I actually started listening to this music in 2010. My friend Cait got me into it. My first Screamo song was The Flood by Escape the Fate. That song got me addicted to the whole genre of music. To this day, Im still finding out about new bands and what not. I actually dont like some bands because they are too hardcore. I like to understand the words that the people are saying and some bands just scream to the point that you have no idea what they are saying. I can understand the screaming to some point. My favorite band is either Asking Alexandra or Black Veil Brides. Its hard to choose between those two because both are so unique and inspiring. Black Veil Brides lead singer, Andy Sixx, used to be bullied in high school and now hes a successful band leader. Their songs are about standing up and not being afraid of facing your fears. My favorite lyrics come from the song Set the World on Fire which just came out on their recent album.
Fight for all you know
When your backs against the wall
Stand against the liars
Stronger than before
When your life becomes a war
Set the world on fire.
I follow these lyrics and stand up for myself when others try to put me down. Nothing can stop me.
Asking Alexandra on the other hand is pretty B.A. if you know what I mean. Their music is a mixture of techno and scream. I cant really put any of their lyrics on here because they swear a lot to get their points across. This genre of music relaxes 24/7. Im always listening to the same bands and their songs because they never get old to me. I will literally never stop listening to this genre of music. I will follow these bands until I die.

Black Veil Brides

Group F: These Vampires Don't Sparkle.

It’s hard to choose what my favorite book is because I read a lot. I’ll write about this series of books that I’ve been reading for the past two years. It’s the House of Night novels written by P.C. Cast and her daughter Kristin Cast. This whole series is about Zoey Redbird, a teenager who is marked. Yes, she is a vampire, but not like the Twilight vampires. They actually suck blood and rip bodies apart like it’s their jobs. They don’t sparkle in the sun. They don’t even go out in the sun. In this series, vampires are normal to have in society, but people look down on them. If a teenager is marked, they are taken to the House of Night where they go to school and live there. A person will know if they are marked because they will have a crescent moon on their forehead. Zoey Redbird was already having a hard life when she was marked. She was not happy at all. She has a rough relationship with her mom because she got remarried to this man named John. He treats her like crap. During the series Zoey learns that she is almost like the Goddess Nyx in which all the vampires pray to. Zoey has the power of earth, water, spirit, fire and air. She meets other friends that end up having the one of the powers that she has. I love this series so much because it’s entertaining. I literally read three of the books in two weeks. I couldn’t stop reading. I would read whenever I could. I was able to imagine everything she wrote. She came up with the best plots. It was nothing like you have ever read before.  The ninth book of the series just came out at the beginning of the month and you bet your bottom dollar that I bought it.
